Palestinian Baby Dies after Inhaling Zionist Teargas
A Palestinian baby has died of asphyxiation two months after inhaling fatal volumes of teargas fired by Zionist forces at Palestinian protesters.
Abdul-Rahman Mohammad al-Barghouthi, 1.5 years old, died at a hospital in the city of Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday, Palestinian Safa news agency reported.
He had been exposed to the toxic substance during confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinian demonstrators in the village of Aboud, north of Ramallah.
On July 31, 2015, Israeli settlers killed another Palestinian baby, when they threw firebombs and Molotov cocktails into two Palestinian houses in the Duma Village, some 25 kilometers southeast of the city of Nablus in the West Bank, setting them ablaze while their inhabitants were asleep.
The arson attack killed an 18-month-old baby, Ali Dawabsheh, and critically wounded his father and mother, Sa’ad and Riham, who later succumbed to their injuries.
Zionists making Jewish museum in al-Khalil, snubbing UNESCO
In another development, the Zionist regime announced that in reaction to UNESCO’s decision at its annual summit in Krakow, Poland, to recognize the in-danger old city of al-Khalil in the West Bank as a Palestinian world heritage, it will make a Jewish museum in the city.
According to Reuters, calling the resolution “another delusional UNESCO decision”, the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “a $1m cut to Israel’s payments to the UN and said the money would be diverted to establish a Jewish heritage museum” in al-Khalil, where a few hundred Zionists live under heavy military protection in the midst of more than 200,000 Palestinians.
In the UN session, twelve countries voted for the Palestinian request to name al-Khalil a heritage site, three voted against it and six countries abstained.
The site is important to all Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
The Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki hailed the decision in a statement saying, “This vote is a success for the diplomatic battle fought by Palestine on all fronts, in the face of Israeli and American pressure on member states.”
“Despite a frantic Israeli campaign spreading lies and distorting the facts about the Palestinian rights, the world has recognized our right,” to register al-Khalil and the Ibrahimi mosque under Palestinian sovereignty, the statement added.
Zionist regime’s Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman also reacted to the resolution in a Zionist manner and derided the UNESCO calling it “a politically biased, disgraceful and anti-Semitic organization.”
The Zionist regime occupied al-Khalil, along with eastern Quds, the West Bank, and many other Palestinian areas in the 1967 war, and contrary to widespread international criticism, goes on with occupation, mocking the international community.
